Yonex is easiest to demo by outcome: EZONE for accessible depth, VCORE for spin and shape, and Percept for a more control-led response. Muse is Yonex’s new comfort range.
What each range feels like, who it suits and what to check.
Accessible power and depth
Who it’s for: Improving and club players who want help getting the ball deep without starting with a control frame.
EZONE (8th gen) is Yonex’s easy-power range and the natural first Yonex demo for most club players. The links below cover the 100, 98, lighter L versions and the heavier 98 Tour.
Spin-focused baseline
Who it’s for: Players who build points with topspin and want more shape on the ball.
VCORE (8th gen) is Yonex’s spin range. Demo it against Babolat Pure Aero and Head Extreme, which do a similar job.
Control and connected feel
Who it’s for: Confident strikers wanting feel and directional control from a more traditional frame.
Percept is Yonex’s control range and is still on its 2023 version. Demo it if you make your own pace and want feel and direction rather than free power.
Comfort and easy handling
Who it’s for: Club players who want a forgiving, easy-to-swing racket with less shock on impact.
Muse is Yonex’s comfort range, launched in 2026 in five versions: 98, 100, 100L, 100SL and 107. Yonex built it to be light, forgiving and easy to swing, so check which head size and weight suit you, then demo it.
Rackets in the same range get updated every year or two, and shops sometimes label the same racket with different years. Before you buy, check the model year, head size and grip on the shop or brand page, and try a demo if you can.
